By the end of the course, we hope you will have gained a complete insight into university life and have had a lot of fun along the way too.

What our students think

The Summer School has proved to be all the refreshing diversion from home college I had hoped it to be. The delicate balance of class and social events successfully deliver the feeling that I'm getting work done while on holiday. The social program offers a diversity of afternoon and evening events, allowing any foreigner the opportunity to get a full taste of what Edinburgh has to offer. It is the best way to become better acquainted with students outside of one's class.
